Welcome

Welcome to BCIMS
The British Columbia Insight Meditation Society (BCIMS), formerly Vipassana BC, is a non-profit society based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
 
Formed to connect and support Buddhist meditation communities in B.C. that practice in the Theravadan tradition, we provide access to teachings through classes, sitting groups and retreats, and build sangha through community events and volunteer work.
 
We invite you to join us exploring the Buddha’s teachings on insight, generosity and kindness; and in awakening the body, mind and heart in formal meditation practice and in the challenge of daily life.
